Jeff Pack and son at Boy Scout Camp

As a Boy Scout Leader for my son’s troop, I enjoy watching these boys develop skills they’ll use the rest of their lives. But nothing could have taught them a better life lesson than an incident at Boy Scout camp this July. I was reviewing first aid with my son (coincidentally) when I heard yelling- then ran to find another scout’s father on the ground, not breathing. My Red Cross training took over. I was able to give him CPR and get him breathing before a paramedic arrived. My son was pretty amazed that his Dad had saved someone’s life.
